This is the progress that has been made on the winter headband. It's about half way through the cable & seed stitch sequence. Once it is done the end you see at the bottom of the picture will have a button on it and the other end, once it is made, will have a button hole for fastening it on to the head.
I go back and forth between working the above pattern which requires a lot of concentration for me, to the one below that is just straight knitting.
I decided to make myself a felted purse that is lined with compartments. I ordered more wool from Knitpicks Wool of the Andes yesterday that are solid colors of the above variegated colors. Mr. G and I went to Erie, PA on Friday night for our date night. We visited Michael's and Hobby Lobby, but couldn't find the yarn I needed at the price I liked, so ordering from Knitpicks proved to be the best choice. I could shop the website and find the colors I needed at a wonderful price.
I cannot wait to finish those projects and move on to the next bunch. I have a couple little 2 year old girl hats to crochet this week for a friend of mine, then it's back to finishing the two above.
I'll post pictures of the crocheted hats once I get them finished. :0)
I'd like to move on to sweaters for the family, starting with my Mr. G. I have seen a wonderful pattern from one of the knitting magazines that I subscribe to that I would like to try. I saw it and then received my Knitpicks catalog and found the tweed yarn that I would need for the project pictured in the catalog. It was exactly what I was looking for. I just need to make sure I have the right needles and I'll be ready to work on it.
The saying is so very true~too many patterns, too little time! =0)
What are your hands busy with?
God Bless,
